  1. Barristan Selmy was, contrary to what most people think, a weak, cowardly man. He put his own sense of honor higher than the well-being of the people of the realm that he was supposed to protect as par the extension of his duties as a knight. He never dared disobey the sometimes clearly mad orders given to him by the various authorities he served. He tried to make some sort of ammends for his sins at the end of his life by serving Daenerys, but I suppose you can say that it was too little too late.

  2. ser barristan selmy Is the only link to Jon's past. I hope that he lives in the books… At some point after Jon Snow learns about his birth, He will want to know who his Father is. Selmy is the only one who knows Rhaegar on a personal level who happens to still be around.

  3. you know what? fuck selmy. he watched everything aerys did, he watched him burn the starks alive and rape his wife every night but "muh honour". everything the mad king did is the fault of his Kings Gaurd because they allowed it, all of them except Jaime Lannister. if Selmy had been the one guarding Aerys when he said "burn them all" millions would have died

  4. Even old and with white hair hes still an ultimate killing machine, Its sad they killed them off. One of my Favorite Chars with the most dumb death scene.. He should have died in an big Battle against the Lannisters and fucked joffrey with a sword right up his ass.

  5. In all the deaths of game of thrones this was the only one that did not add anything to the plot. That is why he never dies in the books. But in the show, I guess they thought it was time to retire the character before they lose the actor from an untimely death. It was a bad call. As bad as the changes on the Dorne sub-plot.

  6. I have a lot of trouble watching that alley scene. I love Grey Worm and can barely stand the thought of him dying especially given his extra character development, but watching Barristan die to some cunts with a knife at that old age… it's great and heroic to watch, but oh so painful.
